24、land and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine（海洋）center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Th
25、ree-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke（中风）six weeks earlier.Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first thre
26、e years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye.Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness unti
27、l then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy（治疗）, Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Decna phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permissi
28、on to bring her son along. There Joe met met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was re
29、luctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe liv
30、es a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.60Dc
31、ena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because .Athe dolphins action is amazingBJoes reaction brought her hopeCshe was affected by Joes joyDshe realized Joe recovered61Paragraph 2-4 are written to .Aexpose the dangers of strokesBidentify the problems Joe facedCdescribe Joes recovery
32、 from beginning to endDshow readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”62What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?Aangry and inflexibleBmore mature and silentClacking energy and concernDcautious and shy63We may conclude from the passage that .Adolphin therapy has helped many children
33、to improve their livesBJoe recovered faster because of his desire to live with FonzieCdoctors mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great painDhis mothers company contributes greatly to Joes recoveryCIt was a lovely day and Stella was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy a
34、pproached her son and pushed him to the ground.“Id watched him for a little while and my son was the fifth child hed shoved,” she says. “I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, No, we dont push”. What happened next was unexpected. “The boys mother ran toward me,” S
35、tella says, “I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with
36、 other peoples children has become a minefield.“Kids arent all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University. “But there is still an idea that theyre the possessions of the parents. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if youre saying that my child is behaving i
37、nappropriately, then thats somehow a criticism（批评）of me.”In those circumstances, its difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.“Id go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet reminder that we
38、dont do that here is enough. Kids have finely tuned antennae（直觉）for how to behave in different setting. ” He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel overlooked, which could caused problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too. This is wh
39、y White recommends that you approach the parents first. “Raise your concerns with the parents if theyre there and ask them to deal with it.,” she says.Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the
40、 friendship. Begin your remarks with something like I know youll think Im silly but in my house I dont want” He doesnt believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other peoples kids. “Look at kids that arent your own as a potential minefield,” he says. He recommends that we dont stay silent ove
41、r inappropriate behavior, particularly with regular visitors.64What did Stella do after the young boy pushed her son to the ground?AShe made an apology to his mother.BShe took her own boy away angrily.CShe shouted to the boy to discipline him.D She told him his behavior was unacceptable.65What does
42、the author say about dealing with other peoples children?AIts important not to hurt them in any way.BIts no use trying to stop their wrongdoing.CIts advisable to treat them as ones own kids.DIts possible for one to get into lots of trouble.66According to professor Naomi White, what will the parents
43、probably do when other people find fault with their kids?AThey will feel hurt as well.BThey will scold their kids.CThey will lose control of themselves.DThey will defend their child successfully.67According to Andre Fuller, what should one do when seeing other peoples kids misbehave?AExpress dissati
44、sfaction to their parents politely.BMake comments on inappropriate behavior.CTalk to the kids directly in a mild way.DStress the importance of friendship.DAll consumer problems solvedOne of these days, I will call up the courage to telephone my broadband service provider to find out why I am unable
45、to read my office e-mail from home. I am not looking forward to it; my last call was answered by someone who clearly could not wait to get rid of me.Why is everything so difficult? We can now buy a huge range of electronic products at ever-lower prices. We can compare prices online and have goods de
46、livered to our door. And we can do all that in the certain knowledge that what arrives will not work.At least I know I am not alone in these problems. James Womack and Daniel Jones in the Harvard Business Review ask: “Why does consumptionwhich should be easy and satisfyingrequire so much time and en
47、ergy?”The answer to all these problems, they say, is lean consumption（精益消费）. Their idea is an extension of lean production, as first practiced by Toyota. Workers who saw faults occurring could stop the assembly line (生产线)to ensure they were corrected and this solves the faults permanently. They argu
48、e that the same principles can be applied to solve consumers problems today.How would it work? Take help lines, for example. At present, they try to solve problems after they have occurred. They do not do it very well, either. Help line workers are rewarded for their “efficiency”, in other words how
49、 many callers they deal with which is why they are so eager to move on to the next one. Help lines should do more that help people with problems, the writers say. The help line staff should use the calls to identify common problems, which can then be solved equal to the stopping of the Toyota line.“
50、This same concept can be applied to the process of consumption, ”the writers say. “For example, why cant a single provider solve a customers problems by evaluating his specific needs and then determining the best equipment, software and services? The provider could then obtain, fix, take care of, up
51、grade and replace the required articles for a standard fee.”The method the writers are recommending could improve the processes, get rid of problems and lower the cost of consumption. Let us hope it happens soon.68The author doesnt want to call his broadband service provider because .Ait will take a
52、 long timeBhe doesnt expect them to be helpfulCit will be difficult to explain the problemDhe is afraid to be looked down upon69How did Toyota deal with faults in the producing process?AFaults were dealt with after accidents.BThe assembly line was shut down more and more often.CProblems were identif
53、ied and corrected during the process.DWorkers were required to find fault with each others performances.70Which of the following actions can be called “lean consumption”?AProviders try to save the consumers time and trouble.BProducers correct and solve faults during the production.CProducers serve t
54、heir customers for a standard fee.DProviders set up a help line to give advice to customers.71The author believes that lean consumption would .Aincrease the number of help linesBmake life easier for consumersCresult in consumers paying more feesDbe more time-consuming for the customersE20090508Fear
55、can be fun. Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters（过山车）screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read “goose bumps （鸡皮疙瘩）” books or watch horror movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared?Fear is an ancient way
56、of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape from danger and save themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fear response were more likely to be killed, leaving the more fearful and careful to pass thei
57、r genes onto the next generation.How do scientists explain why shaking over such scary things is fun? “Some kids will go to a scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their faces and some wont even set foot in the cinema, said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. Which kind
58、 of person you are depends partly on experiences youve had and partly on your genes.What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and ears lead to a part of the brain called the amygdala. When you suddenly see a snake, for example, the amygdala makes you freez
59、e, perspire, have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing the snake also uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that the snake is only made of rubber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm down. Think of the amygdala as
60、the engine and the cortex as the brake.Back to the first question: Why do some people like to make themselves scared? One reason is that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce the scariness by looking away or thinking of something else, Kalin said. To believe we have control over a situati
61、on gives us a feeling of power.” “Scary movies or novels are good practice to prepare young people for the real thing. Thrills such as roller coaster rides also go to the brains pleasure centre.”And there might be some evolutionary advantage to being able to adjust this system that is there to prote

68、groups. Some students think traditional characters should be used in our daily life because it will help us know more about the origin of Chinese culture. They also think traditional characters were created according to a strict set of rules, so they look more beautiful.However, the others hold diff
69、erent opinions. They think traditional characters are difficult to learn and write, which brings inconvenience to people. More importantly, they believe it will be a barrier to promoting Chinese culture to the world.In my opinion, people have been used to simplified characters. It will not be a good
70、 idea to change them into a more complicated form. But people should learn more about traditional characters and be able to recognize them in some particular occasions.第二节 开放作文（15分）One possible version:In the picture we can see a family in a car, The mother and the father are trying to drive it in o
71、pposite directions with their child sitting between them, looking rather confused.It reminds me of a common phenomenon in some families. When there are some decisions for the family to make, the parents hold different opinions and turn a deaf ear to each other, not to mention the childs ideas. For example, when it comes to what their child should major in at university, they will have a heated argument regardless of the childs intention.I think parents should try to improve their communication and take their childrens opinions into consideration so as to reach an agreement.
